To all 'whomit maycamera: I if I Be it. known that we, AUGUST GscHwEND and-R YMoND G. gCUMBER, both citizens of the United States Y of America, and residents of the city of Seattle, in the county of King and-Stateof Was'hi ton, have invented certain new and useful dmprovements in Skirt- Markers, of which the following is a specification.- 5

Our'invention has for its primary object, toqprovide. an eflicient device 'of' the above character whichcan be readily operated to produce markson a skirt to indicate the A further object resides in the provision of a comparatively simple construction, the dischfirge head of which can be adjusted vertica y. I p A further object of our invention is'to proiv-ide a device of this character, which can be operated by the person wearing the skirt to.

be marked. v

With the above and otherobjects in view, to be referred to 'as the "description progresses, our invention resides in the stri1ctural features, arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described and succinctly defined in the appended claims.

Referring'now to the-accompanying drawing, in which like numerals of reference indi-- catelike parts throughoutthe several views: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of our in-. vention, illustrating the same in operation. Fig. 2 is a detail,. fra me ntary sectional view, on enlarged S0846, of the upper portion of the device,'and Fig; 3 is'a view in perspective of .the discharge head of thefdevice.

.In carrying out our invention, weprovide a'suitablestand .or'upri ght 1, on which thedischarge head 3, is supported for .vertical adjustment, said stand or upright having a supportlng base 2'. Head 3, as now consid-' ered, is carried on the lower end portion of a travels from a suitablefsource 'of'supply; as

I The lower end portion of tube or pipe 4 is bent .or curved outwardl from stand l so'as to support head Sin a s11 stantially horizon- ;tal "plane, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1.

Tube .Orpipe 4 is adjustably" supporte'djon stand 1 bysuitable. coupl1ngs, as 5, provided with thumb screws 6: .By'thisconstruction ,it will be observed thatjthe' couplings can also be. raised or. lowered, thereby enabling Specification of Letters Patent.

;charge the marking material through the apertures 3 of head 3. The apertures 33 of head 3 are arranged in horizontal alinement so as to direct the marking material insuoh a manner that the latter will produce ahorizontal line composed of dots or dashes, on the skirt. Air as now'c'onsidered', is supplied to pipe 4 through the mediumof a bulb 8, said bulb being secured to a pipe 9 which is connectedbya coupling L0 to pipe 4. Supply receptacle or chamber 7 has-a funnel shaped lower portion provided with a nipple 7.

which is threaded in the upper-end portion of a vertical conduit 10' of said coupling, and

, pipe 4 is Ehreaded in the lower end portion of f said con uit 10. Pipe 9 is threaded in an inclined conduit which communicates With conduit 10- at a point between pipe 4 and nipple 7 as clearly shown in Fig. 2. To pre-- vent'tha marking material. from falling into pipe4 in a continuous manner and in too great a quantity, weplace in receptacle or chamber 7 -a perforatedwall 11, through which said material must pass in falling to pipe 4. QPerforated wall 11, as now considered, forms an end wall of a removable can 12, which, as forflexample, may be the can in Which themarking material. is sold on the market. Pipe '9 is preferably curved so that its free end will lie on the same side of stand 1 as head 3. By this construction said pipe can be used as a handle tolift and move the device, when desired. Further, it will be observed thatbulb 8 will be in such position that itl-can'be readily grasped and operated by the person Wearing the skirt to be marked- To insure of a charge of the material falling from the supply chamber into pipe 4, the

device: must 'be jarred a little, and when the devices is moved around the skirt in marking the same, the jar incident to the-hftmg andreplacingfof the device on the floor is sufii- By'our improved device plaitedor fancy iskirts as well as plain "onescan be marked in an equally; efiicient manner, and the line of marks will be clear and distinct for the entire distance around the skirt, for head 3 does not come contact with the goods, and conse uently there is no danger of the goods of the comprising a stand, a vertically disposed pipe supported thereon for vertical adjustment, a horizontall disposed head on the lower portion of sai pipe for discharging the marking material, a coupling secured to the upper end of said pipe, said coupling being formed with a vertical conduit and an inclined conduit communicating with said first named conduit intermediate its ends, a supply receptacle arranged above said coupling and having'a nipple depending from its lower portion, said nipple eing secured in the upper portion of the vertical conduit of said coupling, a pipe communicating with the illclined conduit of said coupling and extending upwardly over said receptacle, and a bulb on Ply eoasaa said last named pipe arranged on the same side of said stand as said horizontally disposed head.

2. A device of the character described comprising a stand, pipe having a horizontally disposed head on its lower portion, couplings slidably engaged on. said stand and on said 'ipe, set screws in said couplings enga ed wit said stand and with said pipe, a coup ing secured on the upper end of said pipe, said coupling being formed with a vertical conduit and an inclined conduit communicating with said first named conduit intermediate its ends, a supreceptacle arranged above said coupling and having a funnel shaped bottom portion provided with a nipple secured in the upper end of the vertical conduit of said coupling, a pipe communicating with the inclined couduit of said con ling and extending upwardly to form a ham le, and a bulb on the upper end of said last named pi 1e.
